Metta World Peace Thanks Jesus We Lose Our Teeth When We’re Young (Video)

December 14, 2011 by Steve DelVecchio • Comments

You know how there have been a few times where I swear I’m not getting lazy and insist I just have nothing to say about what I’m about to post? This is one of those times. In fact, it may be the best example I’ve ever come across since I began writing for LBS. The artist formerly known as Ron Artest — a.k.a. Metta World Peace — was recently asked by an L.A. Times reporter if his teammates have started calling him Metta or if they still call him Ron. When you consider who we’re dealing with, his response made perfect sense. Check out this amazing video that Pro Basketball Talk pointed out to us:

So I guess that settles that.  It’s moments like this interview, the time Artest told us he’s 80 percent vegan, and the time he thanked his psychiatrist after winning a championship that make us think he might actually be crazy enough to win a fight against Rampage Jackson.  If you find yourself feeling down at any point this week, just remember that Jesus Christ was kind enough to make us lose our baby teeth when we’re young. That should help get you through the day.
